5:00 pm
he's hosting a spinoff of the game he just mentioned, are you smarter than a fifth grader? it's called are you smarter than a celebrity? this is travis kelce last week at the university of cincinnati. >> to all my fellow students, i got a few words of advice. you have to fight for your right to party! [♪♪] [♪♪] [ cheering ] >> there you have it, laura, there's the answer, you are smarter than a celebrity, at least that one. i will leave it there. >> a great football player and apparently, i don't know, that's it. that's how you connect with the kids, that's it for him. that's it for us tonight. don't forget to set your dvr. jesse is next. welcome to "jesse watters
5:01 pm
primetime". tonight... [ chanting ] liberals losing their mind. latinos love trump. [ speaking alternate language ] [ bleep ] >> donald trump became the first former president took owe on criminal trial. >> don't cheer too loud, we need you pick for jesse: jury duty. >> jesse: primetime investigates the jury. >> losing me my jury. >> you can say the cia played a major role in bringing lst to america. the ceo -- cia brought lst into the country. >> jesse: jfk, the cia and lst. plus... >> lucky it wasn't hot chili. [♪♪] [♪♪]
5:02 pm
>> jesse: in 1977, president jimmy carter walked through he called the worst islam in america, the south bronx. american thank you symbolized by the burnt out borough. carter promised to "turn it around." three years later ronald reagan stopped by to see if carter had lived up to his promise and when he arrived said he had not seen anything like this since london after the blitz. but unlike carter, reagan got in the middle of a crowd of black americans, they yelled at him, bring back jobs, and reagan shouted, i can't do anything for you if you don't get elected. he promised to try as hard as he could. it was a bold move for a white republican to go deep in the south bronx, and it paid off. reagan won almost every state in the country. including new york. the last republican candidate to do so. yesterday trump hit up all bodega and harlem which showed him a lot of love.
5:03 pm
>> i love you trump. >> i love you trump. >> we love trump. >> i love you trump camp-mac chance-mac. >> jesse: donald trump wasn't treated like the racist dictator the media paints him as, he was greeted with love and affection by the very people the press tell you he hates. harlem is chanting four more years to trump. what's november going to look like? >> i love this city and it's gotten so bad in the last three years, four years. we will straighten new york out. running for president, we think we can win new york with a half a million migrants taking over the parks, the hotels, it's no good and they've destroyed so many people. the african-american community is not getting jobs, migrants are taking their jobs that are
5:04 pm
here illegally. hispanics are not getting jobs, migrants are taking the jobs. we will have to do something because no country -- these are prisoners and people from mental institutions. >> jesse: harlem is chanting trump, trump, trump while donald says mentally ill bad mexicans are taking their job. that moment destroys all the propaganda. the spontaneity, the humanity, the reality of a moment like that renders all the talking points in all the hoaxes powerless. he's setting off chain reactions with moments like this and last week in atlanta. >> i don't care what the media tells you, mr trump, we support you. 4:00 pm. >> let me give you a hug. [ cheering and applause ] >> thank you, i'll tell my mom! >> we are going to get rid of
5:05 pm
biden. >> jesse: trump gets indicted in georgia, atlanta says we love you. trump is indicted in new york, harlem says four more years. donnie from the block. we've been trying to tell you johnny has been out in the streets and they did not believe us main-mac what do you -- who do you want to win the election? >> donald trump. [ chanting ] >> when he was in there was no crime. crime was down. >> vote for donald. >> trump is straight up and down like 6:00. at least i know what i get when it comes to him. >> i was more comfortable with trump. >> trump, i said it. that's right, i said it. >> what do you like about trump? >> he don't [ bleep ]. you don't care, i like that. >> jesse: white republican billionaire hugging the block harder than spanish hollywood. it did not done on them until the bodega. >> excuse me for a second please. [ speaking alternate language ] [ bleep ]
5:06 pm
[ cheering and applause ] >> it looks like the democrats are in trouble and you might be thinking, how is this possible? donald trump is winning latinos, build a wall, donald trump. that's right, for latinos this election is all about inflation and that makes sense. inflation is bad right now. they are going to have to change the name of the game show to the prices [ bleep ] what now? >> jesse: they are panicking because trump is picking up their people. just because you leave the streets does not mean you lose touch. inflation, crime, migrants don't touch limousine liberals but a man who's been writing limos his whole life still knows the cost of living and knows migrant crime can cost you your life. bodega owners for trump. kind of has a nice ring to it. both know what it's like to be
5:07 pm
charged with a crime for defending yourself. the media knows they've unleashed a political animal. >> he walks outside the courthouse and does these speeches, going to this bodega and having hundreds of people wanting to meet him and using these moments covered by fox news and other far right networks as a sort of campaign events. i think there is some -- i think there is something to be said for what he can do with this. >> eventually he's like a caged animal and that's a dangerous situation, he's feeling threatened, he's out of control and so we do expect them to lash out. >> jesse: does trump seem out of control to you for a guy facing 91 counts? i would be doing acupuncture if i was him with one misdemeanor. how is trump and harlem stuck with biden in pittsburgh? no good. [ chanting ]
5:08 pm
>> jesse: joe's gotta go chance in pittsburgh. imagine what they are chanting in georgia. these two campaigns day and night. trump talks about your issues, biden talks about himself. >> i was in the motel, the local motel getting changed and i was in one of those eight by ten bathrooms, shower, toilet and a sink. i got a towel on me and shaving cream and i hear bam, bam, bam at my door. really loudly. i walked to the door and opened it up and standing there was the former governor of the state of delaware. a big guy, talked at you like this. i'm standing in a towel and shaving cream on my face. >> jesse: while trump is talking policy, biden says his
5:09 pm
uncle was eaten by cannibals. >> my uncle, a hell of an athlete. he became an air me -- army air corps when the air force came on. a single engine plane as reconnaissance over war zones. he got shot down and -- in new guinea and they never found the body because there used to be there were a lot of cannibals for real in the part of new guinea. >> jesse: the pentagon says biden's uncle was a passenger when the plane's engines failed and the aircraft ditched into the ocean. the plane was not shot down, his uncle wasn't the pilot and cannibals did not eat him. and the men holding biden signs, have you ever seen such a sad group? those poor hostages. look at this photo. more people were outside a bodega then a pittsburgh rally for biden.
5:10 pm
biden straight up plagiarizing trump's playbook. steal tariffs in pennsylvania, then pops into a fast food joint. tell me if you spot the difference. [ inaudible ] >> right here, right here, stop, stop, stop. no. >> jesse: did not see a lot of love. biden should borrow some of trump's caged animal energy, you know. he said this -- they said this election was a choice between love and hate but what they really mean is they hate how much you love him. senator ted cruz joins me now. that was not a very interesting appearance at the fast food joint, not what i would call
5:11 pm
chick-fil-a energy, senator. >> look, i've gotta say, it was pitiful but it speaks volumes. the biden record is a train wreck. the american people are doing much worse after three and a half years of biden and inflation and open borders on crime, not to mention two wars and the disaster biden's brought in. you contrast it, when we had donald trump, when we had a republican house and senate we had the economy was booming, peace and prosperity, people's lives were better. you are right, this entire campaign, trump's campaign is about your life was better because our policies make sense for you and your family. biden's campaign is all about he says donald trump is the devil. that's a difference we are seeing in races all across the country. in my race in texas i've got a left-wing democrat who can't run on biden's record, he doesn't run on the open border that he and biden support, he doesn't run on inflation or crime, he
5:12 pm
just argues that trump is the devil and i'm the devil. that's all they have to say and instead what campaigns should be about is actually fighting for people's lives and policies that work. >> jesse: the inflation and the border are just destroying working-class americans. does biden see that coming because this to me just looks like a landslide? >> no, no, he does not see it coming at all. he's out of touch. listen, joe biden is down in his basement, he's hidden, he does not interact with ordinary people. when biden tried to even reference bodega he could not say the word bodega right. i mean you look at -- this is not a man who is dealing with the people, who understands the working-class. the democrat party has abandoned the working-class, they've abandoned the blue collar and his strategy is hide in the basement, spend lots of money and just attack trump and it's a strategy we are seeing across the country.
5:13 pm
that's how democrat candidates run. my opponent, this left-winger, is being funded with millions and millions of dollars from george soros, chuck schumer, they are flooding cash into texas because they want to take me out. but he does not talk to reporters, he hides in his basement, i guess, just spends money and they think they can full the american people but just like millions of people are supporting trump and contributing to his campaign, we are seeing people all over america going to ted cruz.org and supporting my campaign because they are not going to get left-wing democrats flood cash with lies and attacks, and that's the game plan. >> jesse: it is lies, hoaxes. the moments he does interact with regular americans in a bodega or chick-fil-a it totally obliterates all of their lives. he's going to be pinned down in manhattan for quite some time. do you have any other suggested campaign stops? i mean he could go to madison square garden, he could go to
5:14 pm
central park, maybe feed the. what would you do if you were donald trump on wednesdays or after the court is out of session? >> look, i think the beauty of stopping at the bodega is it highlights real people's lives that were better under trump than they have been under biden. the classic question in any election is are you better off now than you were four years ago? unless you are a big tech billionaire or a drug cartel lord, in which case the answer is yes, you are not better off under biden and you ought to vote for biden. if you are a drug lord, biden is your guy. listen, today in the senate we had what was supposed to be the impeachment trial. every single senate democrat voted to throw the case out, not to here any evidence. they don't want to here about the people who are suffering with our open borders. i don't want to here about the people dianne, the children being abused, they don't want to here about the women being
5:15 pm
raped, they don't want to here about the terrorist coming in to the country or the criminals who are murdering americans every week. they don't want to here about any of it and every single democrat, all of them, that means jon tester in montana, voted to here no evidence, doesn't want to know about the failures of the democrats open borders. that means bob casey in pennsylvania, ohio, nevada, everyone of these democrats running right now, they want to hide from the issues, they don't want to talk about them at all, they did not want to listen to any of the evidence because they don't care about the people who are suffering. they don't care about the people in the bodegas who are facing crime. instead they just want to say bad trump, back trump. that's their whole message. >> jesse: it sure is. if i was a trump, i would go to a grocery store, not a whole foods, may be catcher rangers game after court is out of session, who knows. a lot to do here. ted cruz, i'm sure you're staying busy in texas, good luck down there. >> thank you, jesse.
5:16 pm
>> jesse: we know who the undercover anti-trump jurors are right back. [♪♪] [♪♪] lord, you know what's on our hearts. you know where we struggle. you know where we need to be pushed. help us give it all to you. the good, the bad. help us turn to you in everything. amen. you should join me in more prayer on hallow. stay prayed up. breathing claritin clear is like... is he? claritin clear? yeah. fast relief of your worst allergy symptoms, like nasal congestion. live claritin clear®

[♪♪] >> jesse: the jury system was originated because for thousands of years before the individual judge had the power to hang any young man he simply did not like. >> yes your honor. >> jesse: trump's new york trial on break but tomorrow jury selection continues. seven jurors have been picked. the stories are hysterical. more on that and a second. but trump lawyers already catching a handful of lib activists trying to sneak onto the jury. have you ever posted anything about donald trump on social media? why, i don't believe i have.
5:22 pm
well right here you posted, i hope trump goes to prison. oh, that one. it keeps happening and the media is rooting for them. >> the official name of the trial is the people of the state of new york versus donald trump. the people of the state of new york? that's us. [ cheering and applause ] >> okay, hold on. i know you are excited by don't cheer too loud. we need you to get picked for jury duty. >> jesse: having a democrat prosecutor, democrat donor judge and democrat city isn't enough. they need to rick the jury too. it's like me taking steroids when i fight greg gutfeld, it's already not fare. but the view is worried a republican might slip through. >> what could happen in a case like this is if you have someone, and we were talking about it this morning, someone named clay travis telling people to get onto that jury, you get one person that sneaks onto that jury with untoward feelings,
5:23 pm
that person can hang that jury. you live. you say i hate trump. -- you lie -- >> jesse: the view thinks saying i hate trump makes you impartial. cnn says don't talk about the stuff -- about lives trying to sneak onto the case, you are putting your lives in danger it. >> i'm surprised we are learning this because i don't think the jury will remain anonymous if they keep this up. >> you are worried about their safety? >> i am. it's up to them if they want to write a book after all this is said and done but that's their option, they should not be outed this way and they aren't supposed to be. >> jesse: the seven jurors already chosen, and we trust them? and could this be a hung jury? let's bring in susan constantine , jury consultant and body language expert. let's look at the foreman. a salesman from harlem but born in ireland. did not finish college, married, no kids.
5:24 pm
do you think this guy is a defense juror? >> he's a defense juror. this is a juror that's come into this country, he's looking at this is a land of opportunity, and he's trumpeting everything that he believes in. so when i look at this particular juror, and that is also a middle-class citizen, and in the type of position that he has is not authoritarian, i think this is definitely a defense juror and a very strong one. >> jesse: okay. a salesman is not authoritarian. okay. i have met a few salesman that would maybe differ from that. number 2 is the nurse. there's nurse scares me if i'm trump. she's from the upper east side, masters degree, not married, no kids, lives with her fiancé. gets her news from the new york times and cnn. >> yeah. >> jesse: goodbye. >> it sounded really good until i heard the cnn part of it and automatically, strike that one.
5:25 pm
>> jesse: you can't strike. then you got an asian lawyer and he's a corporate guy,'s law firm, you go right on it says dei all over it. what do you think of him? >> no. definitely no because he's too influential. you get him into deliberations and he can sway those jurors that are in there. absolutely no. not this one. >> jesse: you usually don't like lawyers as jurors, i understand that. here's a juror that i like. puerto rican, born there, says trumps fascinating and mysterious and he has grandchildren. i mean that's pretty good. >> yes and i see this one has a trump apprentice. this is someone who is really fascinated with donald trump. he finds him mysterious and i think that he's going to be sitting there in all and wonder just watching, you know, donald trump in the jury -- during the jury process. i think he's definitely a great defense juror. >> jesse: and it only takes
5:26 pm
one to have it hung. juror number 5, this one i could go either way. black woman in her twenties, doesn't follow the news, knew nothing of any of the trump charges. she's a teacher, not married, no kids. all of her friends hate trump but i don't know. i'm not so sure about her. what do you think? >> yeah, what i'm concerned about, number 1 i usually don't like teachers on the defense side. those are one of my eliminations. >> jesse: why? why do you like teachers? >> because they are usually very opinionated. they are very right and wrong and i think that's going to be a real problem because i see donald trump's jurors being the ones that are in those gray areas. not those black and white authoritarian jurors, more egalitarian. and also is she going to be influenced by her own community? within the african-american community? >> jesse: when she goes back home in between. now juror number 6, woman in her
5:27 pm
twenties, works for disney on likes to dance. i mean that is not a trump juror. >> it is not an you have to think about too, you know, disney is filled with all these young people. i think young people is a real issue on this one. they are activists. they are always trying to find something to stand for and i think this is a real big problem for donald trump. >> jesse: last one, you think this guy is going to be all right, middle-aged balding white guy with a tan. and then you find out also a corporate litigator. whose website is filled with esg dei nonsense. goodbye. >> see you later, gone. >> jesse: okay. all right so more jury selection tomorrow, maybe we will have you back and we can see who's authoritarian and who's not. thank you so much. >> you are welcome, jesse. >> jesse: is the new npr ceo deep state? straight ahead.

5:33 pm
>> jesse: just a week after exposing his own company for it's liberal bias, npr whistleblower uri berliner quit. after this new ceo suspended him without pay. berliner says i cannot work in a newsroom where i'm disparaged by a new ceo whose divisive views confirmed the very problems at mpr eyesight in my free past -- free press essay. and who is she, katherine maher? and anti-trump white guilt thing enthusiast breaking her silence. >> i read the letter and never had the chance to meet him personally and i wish in some ways that i had had the chance so we could have talked about what his concerns were. people come from all sorts of backgrounds, they have different lived experiences but they come to the table to do the work and uphold journalistic ethics and integrity. are we covering the stories from a wide enough variety of perspectives? is it reflected in how well the audience feels served? do we have a wide enough
5:34 pm
audience that is representative of our nation? and so that i think is the priority and that is the way we should be thinking about this. >> jesse: i don't even know what she just said. if only there was a way she could have spoken to berliner about his concerns instead of silencing him. turns out she's not interested. she hates the truth. >> for our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the truth might not be the right place to start. in fact, our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that is getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done. we all have different truths. they are based on things like where we come from, how we were raised and how other people perceive us. >> jesse: tricky disagreements or when we need the truth the most. you can call yourself a journalist and say you are basing your coverage on vibes, babe. maher wants everyone to share their truth except when the
5:35 pm
truths go against their agenda. not a new phenomenon. they would have a long history of cutting people loose when they don't tow the line. i confronted npr's former president way back in the day. >> it seems like you fired him not for his opinion but for his personal feelings, is that how you run a news organization? >> we terminated the contract because he -- this -- there were a series of violations of our news, ethics code. we talked to him about it, nothing changed. this was the latest in a series of incidents. >> jesse: but you've had npr people advocate the killing of christians, advocate the killing of jesse helms, were those people fired? >> that's not true. >> jesse: yes, it is, i have a right here, i have the growth right here. >> i've given you my statement and now let me go on to my meeting. >> jesse: who was that handsome devil? we've been covering stock shenanigans in washington for years and biden's energy secretary is a scoundrel.
5:36 pm
she held off on selling $1.6 million worth of stock in this electric bus company until she became energy secretary and then biden started his crusade for ev's. she was asked about her trades and then lied to congress. she was confronted by a senator. >> you owned multiple individual stocks and you neglected to report it to this committee for months afterwards. why did you mislead this committee. >> oh my goodness. >> that was exactly my response. why did you mislead the committee? >> i believe that i had sold all individual stocks and i was incorrect so i came back -- >> you just don't know your portfolio? a big one i guess weight. >> extremely small. >> apparently not. >> jesse: jennifer granholm not alone. this is a feature, not a bug. entrepreneur, and original will vote for -- wall street joins me

5:38 pm
and you get caught cold and you just say whoops i forgot or i heard it somewhere, i don't remember, maybe it's my husband who sleeps next to me. is there any way you can get away with this? >> yeah, after you do 1-3 years for perjury and destroying records and all this stuff, yeah you got away with it but listen, it's a different set of rules. i think they need to pass a law here that people cannot trade stocks while they are in congress or in the cabinet. it's a conflict of interest and it really bothers the average american. you are sitting there trying to make a living and also have your money work for you, you see the returns you are getting and magically they are beating you by like 500 percent a year and you're like what's going on here. >> jesse: you never got any inside information did you? you would never do that? >> well -- [ simultaneous talking ] >> jesse: we have to go to

5:45 pm
dod only buying commercial parts from the oems is literally driving us out of business. the interest on our debt alone is now exceeding for the first time in american history the entire defense budget. we can't afford it anymore. >> jesse: that's why we have inflation and are up to our eyeballs in debt. flower power, woodstock, the sixties were an era of free love and psychedelics but the counterculture did not necessarily happen organically. lsd was discovered in a swiss lab and was then commandeered by our intelligence agencies at the dawn of the cold war. american intelligence believed lsd could be used to brainwash communists, to control people's thoughts, and as a truth serum during interrogations. the cia started a secret project, mk ultra, were americans were unwittingly dosed with psychedelic drugs and
5:46 pm
studied. addicts, hippies, mental patients were given large quantities of lsd, even soldiers here's someone who participated in the psychedelic operation. watch. >> i took the injection. i did not like it. it really did create a poisonous psychosis. the room became very distorted and i thought my bones were all melting and i saw the squirrels outside and i thought they are not the squirrels, i'm the squirrel in this cage and i can't get out and i started to throw myself from side to side in the room. i don't know, it was like something funny i'd fallen into and i could not get out. i just felt that my life was threatened. i could never go back to what i'd been. >> jesse: the cia experiments with lsd continued through cutouts. millions of dollars were directed to america's top research universities and for a time the united states was
5:47 pm
pioneering the boundaries of human consciousness. >> you can say that the cia played a major role in bringing lsd to america. when we think of the counterculture in the sixties we can think a lot of the cia. the cia brought lsd into the country and created a research industry. >> jesse: but lsd became so widespread and abused for hedonistic purposes that it discredited the peace movement which was kind of what the cia intended. although lsd was proving to provide some -- substantial clinical benefits for alcoholics or depressed people, people with ptsd, the drug was never allowed to be brought to market by pharmaceutical companies because the american government's war on drugs and cold war agenda, more important. but after decades of criminalization, lsd is seeing a resurgence therapeutically. but is still struggling to escape it's cultural taboo. author of tripped, nazi germany, the cia and the dawn of the
5:48 pm
psychedelic age joins us now. norman, describe these radical experiments on americans by the central intelligence agency. >> you are right, it's crazy what happened. and where did this come from? it came from the nazis because the nazis were the first ones to do psychedelic research in the concentration camp. when they americans liberated the camp and liberated germany from national socialism, they found these reports done by the ss and they thought if the nazis are so into using lsd as a potential weapon, maybe we can also try to use it now in the cold war against the soviet union. >> jesse: was lsd ever shown to be useful for interrogations, brainwashing or not? >> not really. i mean it proved to be useful to
5:49 pm
make someone extremely insecure. because if you does someone unwittingly, that person suddenly has a very strong effect in the brain and doesn't really understand what's happening, so you can use that as an advantage in interrogation. but lsd never proved to be that magic key with what you can unlock the mind of someone else. it actually has very different effects in fact. >> jesse: interesting chapter in your book, you suggest that john f. kennedy may have experimented with lsd and that may have moved him away from the cold war and two more of aps messenger. >> this is speculation. we know for a fact that he had a very intimate relationship with marry who was in the white house quite a lot and they were seen smoking weed together. it's a fact that she then
